Right, I still need to read up on how exactly they arranged it in the US. But I though mining in ERCOT zone was more tuned to peak demand, i.e. miners are connected to the grid just like any other consumer but they have that special arrangement to ramp down responding to the signal when grid is overloaded => so they switch off less frequently (mining uptime higher).

The model I am speculating about is more rigidly bound to the intermittency profile of each local wind farm: up to the point that a mining container is not even connected to the grid - but to the farm directly => mining uptime is smaller (depending on how often the given farm is curtailed).

That is why I placed this post in "speculation" subtopic
